Produktbeschreibung

Wild and beautiful, Gwyneth Johns is a Patagonian with a scandalous past that shocks the Victorian ladies of the small pioneering town in the Valdes Peninsula. She has sworn never to let any man get close, but her resolve is weakened by handsome Spaniard, Miguel, who is not all he seems. Then, new immigrants arrive from the northeast of England. Gentle giant Rob, his younger brother Davy and the hard-drinking, amoral Matt with his young and naïve wife. Gwyneth is called upon to teach them how to be gauchos. Reluctantly, she accepts the challenge - and risks losing her life and her newfound love to the cold glaciers of the Andes.

Autorenporträt

Born in her grandparent's old miner's cottage overlooking the River Tyne, June Gadsby's life has been as interesting as any published saga. Leaving school at fifteen without qualifications of any kind, she pushed herself beyond the expectations of her family. Her teachers realised her talent as an artist, but were surprised when she announced, at the age of eight, that she intended to become an 'author'. More than once she heard the words of her strict, Victorian grandmother: "you'll never make it..." Her mother thought that June's writing was a 'nice, but unsociable little hobby'. But June refused to lose sight of her ambition. On leaving school she started work as an office junior, taught herself shorthand and typing and became a secretary, eventually attaining one of the highest posts as Administrative Assistant [Executive Medical Secretary] at Newcastle University's Medical School. It wasn't until she wrote about her years of rejection for a Writer's magazine that she was noticed by a literary agent.
